Keep variable values

Hi,

I'd like to know how to keep the variable values the same, even as I change layouts. Currently, when I change layout, the global variables will reset, but I'd like them to stay at their current value, in order for me to present the user with their score at the end.

Thank you

Use the Webstorage ! It's the best way to keep your data secure ! ( Sounds like an anti-virus add , does it :D )

Just save your variables to a local key and re-load them back when switching layouts !

Don't forget to contact me if you need any help ! Just type Whiteclaws in your posts and I'll fly to help you :D

Cheers !

Thanks Whiteclaws!

lol indeed it does - but I'm still a bit stuck.

The score indicator works, but only on a page refresh. So if I finish the game, the score indicator will indicate 0, then once i've refreshed the page, it will go to its proper value

Any ideas here?

Thanks

You can always contact me with Whiteclaws in your posts

You need to also save your score value in a global variable at the end of the game ...

Whiteclaws the variable is incremented each time the user scores a point, then at the end of the game it is written to the Session webstorage variable. The problem i'm having is that the label shows 0 on the scoreboard, it will only show the correct value after refreshing.

Post your capx, it will make it easier for us to tell you exactly how to do things correctly.

You may also want to consult tutorials like Asteroid clone in less than 100 events that will show you some usage of global variables, several layouts as well as some webstorage.

Are you sure you are changing the text each time the variable changes ?

Hi,

Currently, when I change layout, the global variables will reset

Unless you are triggering the "Reset global variables" action, they shouldn't be. That's the whole purpose of global variables.

R115: Press space bar to progress to the next level. Notice how the score does not reset.

Be sure you don't have any "On start of layout" events where you are setting the score back to 0 - this will fire every time you change to a new layout, not just the first time you start your game.

Thanks Whiteclaws and boolean, a combination of your two answers solved my problem :). My score counter now works fine.
